Transportation Requests for 2019-20 Due by April 1

Parents of resident students in need of special transportation arrangements, such as private and parochial school transportation or transportation between school and a daycare center or placement, for the school year starting in September 2019, should request this transportation in writing by no later than April 1, 2019.

Education Law § 3635-2. requires that parents submit a written request to their public school district, for transportation to a nonpublic school, by April 1, or when not residing in the district on April 1, within 30 days after establishing residency. The purpose of this deadline is to enable school districts to budget funds and make necessary arrangements to provide reasonable and economical transportation.
